A gentle reminder that #TheTraitors is a gameshow and none of its contestants deserve an online battering just for PLAYING it. So unless you think it’s reasonable to tag your Auntie June and call her a f #cking snake after a game of Monopoly, I’d rein it in a touch.

D’ya know the story behind the iconic red waistcoat? It was made for a different character, but the original Enjolras (brilliant David Burt) fancied it, stole it, hid it in his dressing room for a week and then wore it (without warning) at the first preview! And I love him.
